I am worried

You have nothing to worry about. To fill out employment history gaps, write "unemployed" in the allocated time slot.

 

I doubt if you'll have much to worry about. Just explain your family and financial situation. You may even want to attach a brief statement with any applications. I went to trucking school with a guy that was a stay-at-home Dad for several years and he had no problems getting job offers.

 

From what I understand you have a young famly a home trucking with no experance not realy to stable wright now unless you have contacts for good local work try to find a job as a shunter most that hire new bees not the best find Out about job prospects before you pay the man

 

I had a similar situation for employment history and at the time just decided to be a stay at home dad. I was unemployed from dec 2008 til July 2011. I just had to fill out a employment gap paper and then get sign statements from three people that knew I was not working and was a stay at home dad.

Wasn't a big deal. They just have to document your history.

 

Forget about PRIME and some other company I forgot the name of.

I was on Unemployment for 2 yrs roughly and there were 2 trucking companies that wouldn't have anything to do with me because of it.

However, with a clean driving/criminal record, you shouldn't have a problem getting on SOMEWHERE.

 

I wouldn't be too concerned. The fact that you have a clean MVR and no record are real strong positives. Do well in school, that's VERY important!

 

Go talk to Tim Conner or Matt in the Training/Safety Dept. at the Watkins Shepard Terminal in Conover, NC. You'll be home most weekends, and gross $40,000 - $50,000 first year
